February 25, 2026 – Reducing food waste could be one of the fastest and most cost-effective ways to cut climate pollution in New York. A new statewide coalition launching today — the New York Food Waste Action Network — aims to do just that. The coalition brings together farmers, businesses, hunger relief organizations and environmental advocates to reduce the amount of food sent to landfills, where it generates methane, a potent greenhouse gas.
This is something, as you can imagine, I’m incredibly excited about. The Food Waste Action Network is a group of environmental climate and food rescue organizations who all come together to reduce the amount of food that New Yorkers are wasting, which will save us money, help reduce emissions and really hopefully get food to those who most need it.
